The Need for a Central American
Canal.

Some may still ask, is canal or a
ship-railway worth building, after all?
Even Admiral Ammen intimated
doubts as late as 1879, after the de-
cision of the Paris Congress, as to
whether the time had come to cut the
lsthmus. 1t may not be hard to sat
isfy ourselves on this point. In a re-
port submitted to the Navy Depart
ment in 1866 by Admiral G.. H Davis,
an estimate is given of the tonnage
which would have used a canal had
one been in existence, as well as of the
loss inflicted upon commerce because
OF its lack. The former estimate is
3,094,O70 tons, which agrees pretty
well with the estimate of the Paris
Congress for the year 1879 which the
Congress adopted. Admiral Davis's
estimate of the loss annually exper-
fenced by commerce was $40, $50, POS.
These estimates, made over twenty
years ago, would be evidently too low
for 1887. But even should we assume
that in the course of the past twenty
years no increase of traffic had oc-
CURED, q result sufficiently surprising
would be arrived at. The loss to COM
merce in four years would amount to
5000, 100000, about the cost of the
Panama canal according to the esti-
mate of the Paris Congress. This
simple calculation shows the import
ance of the work. Mr.. Bigelow, in
his report, already quoted, says, with
reference to the Panama Canal, ''Were
all nations to contribute toward its
construction in any equitable proper
ton to the advantages they would de
rive fror it, the stock would be as
difficult to obtain as the golden apples
of Atalanta. Stuart T.. Weld IN Pop

An Ancient Spinning-School.

1.-The manner and Profits of Spin
ning-School in Germany, as it is laid
down by Andrew Yarenton in his own
words, in a book of his call'd Eng
lands Improvements by Sea and Land,
take as followeth: In Germany, where
the Thred is made that makes the fine
Linnens, in all Towns there are
Schools for little Girls, from six years
old and upwards, to teach them to
spin, and so bring their tender fingers
by degrees to spin very fine; their
Wheels go all by the Foot, made to 90
with much ease, whereby the action or
motion is very easie aud delightful.
The way, method, rule, and order,
how they are governed is: 1st There
is large Room, and in the middle
thereof a little Box like a Pulpit:
2ndly. There are Benches built
around about the Room, rs they are in
Play-houses; upon the benches sit about
two hundred Children spinning, and
in the box in the middle of the Room,
sits the grand-Mistress with ii long
white Wand in her hand; if she observe
any of them idle, she reaches them a
tap, but if they will not do, she rings
a bell, which by a little Cord is fixed
to the box, and out comes a Woman,
she then points to the Offender, and
she is taken away into another Room
and chastized; and all this is done
without one word speaking. In a
little Room by the School there is a
Woman that is preparing and putting
Flax on the Distatfs, and, upon the
ringing of Bell, and pointing the
Rod at the Maid that hath spun off her
flax, she hath another Distaff given her
and her Spool of Tired taken from
her, and put into box unto others of
the same size, to make Cloth, all being
of equal Threds. 1st. They raise their
Children as they spin finer, to the
higher Benches. 9. They sort and
size all the Threds, so that they can
apply them to make equal Cloths; and
after a young Maid hath been three
years in the Spinning-School, that is
taken in at six. and then continues
until nine years, she will get eight
pence the day, and in these parts
speak of, a man that has most Children

The Peoples Savings.

Savings of the people increase rapid
". In this State returns of savings
banks indicate that about SIC, 900
have been added TO the deposits during
the past six months, and in this city
alone about $1,000, 900, which is gain
of about per cent. for the entire
State. These figures represent but a
part of the savings OF the people,
moreover; for large sums are invested
every year in insurance for the pro-
lection of wives and children, or in
provision for old age or disability.
Other large sums are invested in build
ing and loan associations and the
erection of dwellings,; other sums in
the various securities of which the
number of small holders constantly in
creases; other sums in the purchase of
house lots, on which the thrifty work
ers hope to build houses in time, and
of the deposits in national banks; 4
part OF the increase of 81 800, 900 dur
ing the past year in the Central States is
of the same character. If the $780,
600 of people in this State have added
$40, 600, 900 in half year TO their saw
ings-bank deposits, that means far

actually saved from the fruits of in
dustry.
1t is not to be inferred that all the
savings are those of wage-earners,
but large proportion of the amount
saved is of that origin. The capitalist
has his commercial bank account, and
his securities in which he keeps unem-
ployed money where it will return in
terest and profits. The manufacturer
and merchant is obliged to have his
active bank account, and he generally
finds better profit from his surplus
funds in extending and improving his
business than he can get from deposits
in savings banks. Investigations in
Massachusetts show, it is true, that a
considerable part of the aggregate de-
posts are made by persons not of the
laboring class, but the distinction be-
tween those who earn money by labor
with the hands and with the brain,
between mechanics and clerks, or
bookkeepers, or professional persons.
or men in salaried positions, is not one
of vital Importance. Yet the fact re-
mains, and it is of the highest i'm
portance, that the savings of the wage
earners are increasing with great
rapidity.-Neao York Tribune.

plain hand writing, and was in the habit
of telling story in point about Cincin-

cranber-ies and thought he could get
them cheap in little Kentucky town.
To this end he wrote to a customer at
the place, requesting him to send loo
bushels of cranberries per Simmons

was So bad that the party to whom the
note was addressed could not make out
the word "cranherries" at all, but did
conclude that his correspondent wanted

A Yankee Ghost.

Some time ago a family moved into
a Springfield house which adjoins
hotel, right in the heart of the city.
and directly after they had got settled,
began to wish they had never rented
the place. In the nighttime doors
would be heard to open and close, lock
and unlock, and footsteps would be
heard ascending and descending stairs.
The first night or two the newcomers
tried to convince themselves that i'm
agination was at work, for not all of
them had heard the noises. But night
affter night passed, and one and an
other had bis turn being frightened
by the ghostly sounds. The male por-
ton of the household tried to surprise
his ghostship as he passed by, opening
ing was seen, and the footsteps sound
ed as if in the lower hall. One night
this week it seemed as if the whole
graveyard had turned its dead into
that house. Dishes were heard to rat
tie and many feet walking; there was
evidently high revelry. The Mortified
people about decided to leave the next
day, for such things were too much;
they didn't like to believe in ghosts,
but could scarcely help it. 1t happen
ed that the next day one member of
the family, while driving a hook into
the wall next to the hotel, accidentally
forced his hand through the paper into
a tin ventilator which passed up be-
tween the two buildings and was con-
nected with both. This served as a
conductor of sound, and when door
on that side of the hotel was opened or
the stairs were used the noise was
conveyed to the dwelling house. The
preceding night a supper had been
given at late hour, and the mystery
was solved. The tenants viii not be
apt to believe in spirits after this
Springfield Homestead.

A Word About Saving.

Again, do not be too kind to your
relations. | do not say that you should
be selfish or mean, but only prudent.
Before lending money to be used in
their business, see that the business is
a safe one; you may have the fullest
confidence in the honest intentions of
the borrower, but make sure that his
capacity is to be depended on. Many
teachers give their savings to help in
the education of their brothers. Here,
too, charity should be guided by pru-
dence. 1t is no true kindness To help
a stupid boy to university educa-
ton You had much better help him
in some other way. 1t IS also bad for
him to be allowed to take your saw
ings without any recompense. In
most cases you had better lend than
give The knowledge that he must
repay out of his future earnings, what
he now spends, viii help to keep him
from extrav2 gance. And let all such
transactions be conducted on a busi-
ness footing; take receipts for your
money, and formal bonds for repay
ment. An affection that would think
itself insulted by being asked to OBJ
serve such forms is very poor sort of
thing.
Saving, as well as investing, should
be done in cOmmon-sense way. 1t
is penny wise and pound foolish to
stint yourself in food or firing q have
known foreign teachers to do this
sometimes), for the sake of adding a
few pounds to your store. Live as
simply as you like, but take care to
keep yourself as far as you can in per-
feet health. Your health is part of
your capital, and on its preservation
depends your power of supporting
yourself at all. Do not consider all
recr6atiOns as extravaganza; teachers
often err in the matter of holidays,
not giving themselves any real rest or
change, and then wonder when they
find themselves losing their freshness
and interest in their wOrk-deteriorat-
ing in value, in fact. Not only is this
an injury to themselves, but also to
their employers. In dress, too, YOU
are bound to keep yourself tidy; if your
employers pay you fair salary,
they have right to expect to find you
fit to be en-. Too much economy in
this direction will only injure you.
Lastly, you may have opportunities of
improving yourself by going abroad
for time, or by attending classes at
home. Do not lose such opportunities
from motives of economy; they are in
vestments rather than spendings.-

1t Was Awful, Indeed.

A painful episode that interrupted
loves young dream is told by the Ell
mira Gazette: .'Oh, it was perfectly
awful" said one young woman to an
other in street-car which had stopped
on the Lake street switch the other
day. Il was lying in the hammock"
she went on, land was dressed in my
pink nuns yelling, -and, if I do say it,
you know l look pretty nice in that
and he was sitting in a porch chair be-
side me. 1t was a lovely evening, for
there wasn't sign of a moon, and
even the street-lamp on the corner
wasn't lighted. We were having a
delightful time, and he grew more and
more affectionate. Oh, it was delight
full He held one of my hands and
kept the hammock swayipg back and
forth. Finally he leaned toward me,
his face almost to mine, and knew he
was just about to say something aw-
fully nice, when-what do you think
the hammock string broke! | had
taken off my hustle so could recline
comfortably in the hammock, and,
say, the way l struck that porch"
But just then the car sped on.
